Capacity Watch
Review utilization trends before storage, compute, licensing, or staff capacity becomes urgent.
Operating review
Capacity Watch should be run as a practical control, not as a ceremonial meeting. The review should produce decisions, assigned follow-up, and evidence that the checked condition is still healthy or being corrected.
- Review current utilization and trend direction for the constrained resource.
- Identify forecasted exhaustion dates and thresholds that require action.
- Separate temporary spikes from durable growth or structural limits.
- Record mitigation options, owner, cost class, and decision deadline.
- Escalate when lead time is longer than available headroom.
Expected output
A dated operating review record showing findings, decisions, exceptions, owners, and next review point.
Common failure mode
Keeping the document as a form instead of using it to make decisions visible.
Use notes
| Best trigger | Use when the work repeats, affects others, creates risk, or needs a defensible handoff. |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Keep the shortest record that proves the decision, action, owner, and result. |
| Review point | Review after incidents, repeated confusion, tool changes, ownership changes, or missed expectations. |
